Glucose analysis instrument
First Claim
1. Glucose analysis instrument for diabetics, comprising:
- a measuring device for determining glucose concentration values,a displaying device for displaying the glucose concentration values,a signaling device for generating a reminder signal, anda control and evaluation device which comprises a processor and a data memory and is used to determine reminder times at which the signaling device is actuated,wherein event data are stored in the data memory, said event data comprising information on one or more events occurring in the life of a user of the instrument, said events belonging to at least one predefined type of events, said type of events including food intake, said information including the type of the event and the time the event occurs; and
wherein the reminder times are determined by means of a reminder time determination algorithm executed with the processor using event data including the type of event and the time the event occurs from a plurality of days; and
wherein information relating to a time an event occurs is used as a floating reference point in the reminder time determination algorithm for calculating the reminder time by adding a time period to the floating reference point.

Abstract
Glucose analysis instrument for diabetics, comprising a measuring device for determining glucose concentration values, a displaying device for displaying glucose concentration values, a signaling device for generating a reminder signal, and a control and evaluation device that comprises a processor and a data memory and is used to determine reminder times at which the signaling device is actuated. Event data are stored in the data memory, the event data containing information on events occurring in the life of a user of the glucose analysis instrument and on the time of occurrence of such events. The reminder times are determined by means of a reminder time determination algorithm taking into consideration event data from at least one previous day.
